with just 22 days until the election, a new cnn poll of polls has mitt romney leading president obama by one percentage point. now, that comes out to 48-47 and obviously, well within the margin of error, so it's a dead heat. but it's a significant reversal from a month ago when president obama was leading 49-46. you get the point. when you add it up, that's where you get the the margin. other polls show a dead heat. many of them have the president in the leading spot. "outfront" tonight, david frum, former speech wroiter for george bush -- and mark mckinnon is back with us. great to see you. let me start with you, david. we're starting to see republicans rally around mitt romney. latest poll i think is a good indicator. 62% of romney supporters say we're excited about this guy. it was 48% before the convention. what's behind that shift? >> well, i think it would be a mistake to say they're enthusiastic about him and therefore, they're going to vote for thim. they're going to vote for him, so they have no choice but to become enthusiastic. we are seeing a rallying of bases on both side

the new "washington post"/abc news poll has president obama leading mitt romney by three points. that's three points among likely voters, 49% to 46%. in that same poll taken two weeks ago, before the first debate, the president led by just two. he's picked up a point. and the new politico/george washington university battleground poll shows the president with a one-point lead. the same poll taken before the debate had the president with a two-point lead. you see how it's dancing around that knife edge. anyway, both campaigns, both the president's and romney's, are into the closing argument phase of the race, and both sides are putting out new ads today. first, this ad from the obama campaign. i think it's the best they've ever done, the finest ad i have seen in this campaign so far, and it's positive, thank god. it's narrated by the great morgan freeman, the spencer tracy of our time. let's listen. >> every president inherits challenges. few have faced so many. four years later our enemies have been brought to justice. our heroes are coming home. assembly lines are humming again.
